Delivering his State of the Nation Address (SONA)
on Tuesday, March 9, President Akufo-Addo said
“land administration continues to be bedeviled
with intractable challenges,” adding that
government will this year roll out a plan to
digitize land records.



Speaking on Onua FM’s midday news on Wednesday,
March 10, on the President’s promise, Dr.
Ebenezer Gyamera welcomed the move, indicating
that digitizing land records will do away with the
numerous issues the Lands Commission faces.

“It’s a good news. [President Akufo-Addo] said
exactly what we have been asking for,” he
noted.

“This will enable us as a country to move
forward. Land Commission’s documents are often
bulky and, at times, we are told that some of
these documents have been burnt.”

He was certain the land digitization process will
enable people who would have lost their right to
claim their lands – in the case of being told
their hardcopy documents have been burnt – to
still have such.



Dr. Ebenezer Gyamera added: “When the land
administration process is finally digitized in
Ghana, it will do away with improper documentation
among others.”
